-----------------------------
AGREEMENT made this 31st day of March, 2000, between THE FIFTH THIRD BANK
("Fifth Third"), an Ohio state chartered bank, and BISYS FUND SERVICES OHIO,
INC. ("BISYS"), an Ohio corporation.
WHEREAS, Fifth Third has entered into a Transfer Agency and Accounting
Services Agreement, dated December 12, 1989 (the "Transfer Agency Agreement"),
with Fifth Third Funds (the "Company"), a Massachusetts business trust
concerning the provision of transfer agency services for the investment
portfolios of the Company, all as now or hereafter may be established from time

"Funds");
WHEREAS, Fifth Third desires to retain BISYS to assist it in performing
certain transfer agency services for the Funds; and
WHEREAS, BISYS is willing to perform such services on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants
herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. Services as the Sub-Transfer Agent.
-----------------------------------
BISYS shall perform the transfer agent services set forth in Schedule
A hereto. BISYS also agrees to perform such special services incidental to the
performance of the services enumerated herein as agreed to by the parties from
time to time. BISYS shall perform such additional services as are provided on an
amendment to this Agreement, in consideration of such fees as the parties hereto
may agree.
2. Fees.
-----
Fifth Third shall pay BISYS for the services to be provided by BISYS
under this Agreement in accordance with, and in the manner set forth in,
Schedule B hereto. Fees for any additional services to be provided by BISYS
pursuant to an amendment hereto shall be subject to mutual agreement at the time
such amendment is proposed.
3. Reimbursement of Expenses.
--------------------------
In addition to paying BISYS the fees referred to in Section 2 hereof,
Fifth Third agrees to reimburse BISYS for BISYS' out-of-pocket expenses in
providing services hereunder, including without limitation, the following:
(a) All freight and other delivery and bonding charges incurred by
BISYS in delivering materials to and from the Company and in
delivering all materials to shareholders;
(b) All direct telephone, telephone transmission and telecopy or
other electronic transmission expenses incurred by BISYS in
communication with the Company, Fifth Third, the Company's
investment adviser or custodian, dealers, shareholders or others
as required for BISYS to perform the services to be provided
hereunder;
(c) Costs of postage, couriers, stock computer paper, statements,
labels, envelopes, checks, reports, letters, tax forms, proxies,
notices or other form of printed material which shall be
required by BISYS for the performance of the services to be
provided hereunder;
(d) The cost of microfilm or microfiche of records or other
materials;
(e) Sales taxes paid on behalf of the Company;
(f) Expenses associated with the tracking of "as-of" trades;
(g) All systems-related expenses associated with the provision of
special reports and services pursuant to Item 8 of Schedule C
attached hereto;
(h) Expenses associated with the processing of multiple classes of
shares; provided, however, that, the amount to be reimbursed for
the second, third and fourth classes for fifty (50) Funds shall
not exceed $250,000 and, provided further, that the amount to be
reimbursed for each class beyond four (4) and each Fund beyond
fifty (50) shall not exceed $5,000; and
(i) Any expenses BISYS shall incur at the written direction of Fifth
Third or an officer of the Company thereunto duly authorized.
4. Effective Date.
---------------
This Agreement shall become effective on the date upon which the
conversion of shareholder accounts, historical records and other agreed upon
information to BISYS's transfer agency system takes place (the "Effective
Date").
5. Term.
-----
This Agreement shall continue in effect, unless earlier terminated by
either party hereto as provided hereunder, until March 31, 2002 (the "Initial
Term"). Thereafter, the Agreement
2
shall continue from time to time until either party terminates the agreement,
which shall be effective upon providing at least one hundred eighty (180) days
written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be terminated at any time without penalty (i) by mutual agreement of the
parties or (ii) for "cause," as defined below, upon the provision of advance
written notice by the party alleging cause.
For purposes of this Agreement, "cause" shall mean (a) a material
breach of this Agreement that has not been remedied for thirty (30) days
following written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party; (b) a
final, unappealable judicial, regulatory or administrative ruling or order in
which the party to be terminated has been found guilty of criminal or unethical
behavior in the conduct of its business; or (c) financial difficulties on the
part of the party to be terminated which are evidenced by the authorization or
commencement of, or involvement by way of pleading, answer, consent or
acquiescence in, a voluntary or involuntary case under Title 11 of the United
States Code, as from time to time is in effect, or any applicable law, other
than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or
reorganization of debtors or to the modification or alteration of the rights of
creditors.
After such termination, for so long as BISYS, with the written consent
of Fifth Third, in fact continues to perform any one or more of the services
contemplated by this Agreement or any Schedule or exhibit hereto, the provisions
of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions dealing with
indemnification, shall continue in full force and effect. Fees and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by BISYS but unpaid by Fifth Third upon such termination shall
be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding such termination. BISYS
shall be entitled to collect from Fifth Third, in addition to the fees and
disbursements provided by Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the amount of all of BISYS'
cash disbursements in connection with BISYS' activities in effecting such
termination, including without limitation, the delivery to the Company and/or
its distributor or investment adviser and/or other parties, of the Company's
property, records, instruments and documents, or any copies thereof. To the
extent that BISYS may retain in its possession copies of any Company documents
or records subsequent to such termination which copies had not been requested by
or on behalf of the Company in connection with the termination process described
above, BISYS, for a reasonable fee, will provide the Company with reasonable
access to such copies.
If, during the Initial Term, for any reason other than mutual
agreement of the parties or "cause," BISYS is replaced as sub-transfer agent,
then Fifth Third shall make a one-time cash payment, in consideration of the fee
structure and services to be provided under this Agreement, and not as a
penalty, to BISYS equal to the balance due BISYS for the lesser of (A) the next
twelve months or (B) the remainder of the then-current term of this Agreement
assuming for purposes of calculation of the payment that such balance shall be
based upon the average amount of the Company's assets for the twelve months
prior to the date BISYS is replaced.
In the event the Company is merged into another legal entity in part
or in whole pursuant to any form of business reorganization or is liquidated in
part or in whole prior to the
3
expiration of the then-current term of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge
and agree that the liquidated damages provision set forth above shall be
applicable in those instances in which BISYS is not retained to provide sub-
transfer agency services consistent with this Agreement, including the level of
assets subject to such services. The one-time cash payment referenced above
shall be due and payable on the day prior to the first day in which BISYS is
replaced.
The parties further acknowledge and agree that, in the event BISYS is
replaced, as set forth above, (i) a determination of actual damages incurred by
BISYS would be extremely difficult, and (ii) the liquidated damages provision
contained herein is intended to adequately compensate BISYS for damages incurred
and is not intended to constitute any form of penalty.
In the event either party gives notice of termination of this
Agreement as provided in this Section, BISYS will cooperate and use all
reasonable efforts to assist with the conversion of the data and records
maintained by it hereunder to, and the assumption of the services provided by it
hereunder by, a replacement provider of transfer agency services.
6. Uncontrollable Events.
----------------------
BISYS assumes no responsibility hereunder, and shall not be liable for
any damage, loss of data, delay or any other loss whatsoever caused by events
beyond its reasonable control.
7. Legal Advice.
-------------
BISYS shall notify Fifth Third at any time BISYS believes that it is
in need of the advice of counsel (other than counsel in the regular employ of
BISYS or any affiliated companies) with regard to BISYS' responsibilities and
duties pursuant to this Agreement; and after so notifying Fifth Third, BISYS, at
its discretion, shall be entitled to seek, receive and act upon advice of legal
counsel of its choosing and BISYS shall in no event be liable to Fifth Third,
the Company or any Fund or any shareholder or beneficial owner of the Company
for any action reasonably taken pursuant to such advice.
8. Instructions.
-------------
Whenever BISYS is requested or authorized to take action hereunder
pursuant to instructions from a shareholder, or a properly authorized agent of a
shareholder ("shareholder's agent"), concerning an account in a Fund, BISYS
shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, letter or other instrument or
communication, believed by BISYS to be genuine and to have been properly made,
signed or authorized by an officer or other authorized agent of the Company or
by the shareholder or shareholder's agent, as the case may be, and shall be
entitled to receive as conclusive proof of any fact or matter required to be
ascertained by it hereunder a certificate signed by an officer of the Company or
any other person authorized by the Company's Board of Trustees or by the
shareholder or shareholder's agent, as the case may be.
